Glad you clarified, Annette...I was worried for a split second!Love that path in Norfolk
The shingles nearly did us in though!
The stone ones......not the medical ones!
So cool...awesome!Yesterday I walked in Stanley Park with the plan to look for and follow the small paths off the marked trails as far as they would lead. I found something unexpected and exquisite!

Was in the beer garden of the Red Lion on SundayContinuation of St Peters Way from Blackmore to Margaretting ..a long walk over many many stiles ...not great for the knees ..we counted 30 there and back
Nice isolated walk but I was never so glad to see the pub at the end !!
Bless the Red Lion!
Had a coffee and back to Blackmore..a 6 hour walk through forests and fields with some very long grass!View attachment 80479View attachment 80480View attachment 80481View attachment 80482View attachment 80483View attachment 80484View attachment 80485View attachment 80486
We just collapsed at the front of the pub just as it opened!Was in the beer garden of the Red Lion on Sunday
Myself and my wife are sitting in the garden talking about ways of doing the walk, maybe using two cars so we don't need to walk back to the car we could park one at the start and one at the end of the day's walk..we regularly do 10+ mile walks around the Brentwood, Shenfield, Ongar area.We just collapsed at the front of the pub just as it opened!
On Tuesday we will continue the Way from there as there's a good parking place opposite the pub
May get to Stock, or further... and just turn around and walk back
This will be the second time to walk St Peters Way
It's taking a bit longer this time as we're trying not to use public transport ...then again, we're not in any hurry!
A very good ideaMyself and my wife are sitting in the garden talking about ways of doing the walk, maybe using two cars so we don't need to walk back to the car we could park one at the start and one at the end of the day's walk..we regularly do 10+ mile walks around the Brentwood, Shenfield, Ongar area.
Have a great day walking on Tuesday, hopefully it won't rain too much.
Actually, I do walk mostly barefoot. And yes tiles are lovely and cool.Not that I'd recommend walking any distance with bare feet on tiles but, still, they'd be lovely and cool.
Beautiful photos...A walk to Terra Nova Community Garden and Sharing Farm. The beauty and life in this garden always help to restore my equilibrium.

Thank you for this, @alansykes. Here is what I have learned today:After leaving my home county for the first time since February, went to a family funeral in Wiltshire and then walked up to the Alton Barnes White Horse in the Vale of Pewsey. A hot day, but a lovely spot.
Can't agree with you on this one VN!This is not a gorgeous photo like the rest of yours, but the shadows on my cloister floor were saying something worth repeating (It's the only time this has happened, a trick of light and shadow because of the way I hung my laundry up to dry):
A beautiful part of the UK!Pretty much peak heather here in Cumbria now.
That's an impressive walk Mark..Hadn't been on a long walk for a while, so decided to take a stroll to the beach. 23 miles later I made it to Southend. (I got the train back).
There was road walking through the Basildon area. But by adding on another couple of miles, you could probably get about 90% paths. I use memory map OS version to plot my walksThat's an impressive walk Mark..
Were you able to follow paths and tracks the whole way or was there any road walking?
I love the duck.I spent last week in a small retreat center some hours drive from home.
Brilliant Rick!I love the duck.

They opened quickly for melocal walk, within 2km radius... the canal section is recently opened and delightful to walk along.

I have just tried to see if they will open, and even though I inserted them as thumbnails, it is taking ages. Sorry about that.
I love freshly plowed fields - the optimism of farming and gardening. The life cycle that nourishes us. Comforting childhood memories.Gone is the heat. Hello grey skies and tolerable temperatures.
It is lovely to see photographs of your bike ride. Some days I find it hard to make the decision whether to bike or walk. Though the wind sometimes makes that decision for me. 50 miles was a long way!I haven’t contributed to this thread much, because I live where there is really no place to walk. But I have started biking and hope you won’t get mad if I post a few pictures from my first 50 mile bike ride.
Laurie, it looks just like my neck of the woods. I walk and ride, too, seeing similar landscapes...the good 'ole Midwest USAI haven’t contributed to this thread much, because I live where there is really no place to walk.

You better! We'd be mad if you didn't. (Well...I'm wildly enthusiastic, as I just have a cloister. So speaking for myself, that is.hope you won’t get mad

I agree with you Rick. My eye went straight to the centre of the group of pics Annette posted and thought the same ... at first glance.I love the duck.

Your pictures are spectacular, @VNwalking. How wonderful that such beauty is just outside your door. You may have mentioned it elsewhere but is it because of Covid that you are confined to your corridor? It seems a bit heartless that we post of our wanderings when you - and possibly others - are limited in your ability to go further afield.Same corridor, same plants outside...but they never fail to wow me. Gorgeous!
And the mannikins are busy with their eggs right now...their nest is just a few meters away and I see them going in and out a lot, but they are too skittish to photograph, so I leave them alone...
Oh, oh oh. Lucky you.We spent most of last week camping in the mountains. We hiked each day. Friday before heading home we went up a nearby small mountain with superb views.
The Appalachian Trail follows the ridge in background.

Not lucky enough. I wanted to climb the tallest mountain in the range but early in the week the forecast was for possible thunderstorms. You can see in the forecast below why I didn't climb Wednesday or Thursday.Oh, oh oh. Lucky you.
How nice that you are getting out to the country.I checked the forecast, the train timetable and out the door went me and my bike.
The sign amused me. I've heard of owls in wooded areas snatching the caps off of early morning runners and absconding with them,
